normal production capacity to Septem

The mausual demand for Franklin
is further indicated by the fact that a
number of the leading dealers have
taken more cars the first half of this
year than were taken altogether by
these dealerships in the twelve months
of 1924.
The popularity of the new Franklin
body designs by de Causse, the inter

A Short Wave Receiver

Station WSB, Atlanta (Ga.), is

the top of the Atlantic Biltmore Hotel,
The transmitter is a Western Electric
installation of a new type. It repre

velopment, and is expected to set
new satndard for modulation and effi

to the antenna system insures a

Navy Tries the Shorter Waves
The short wave transmitter at NKF,
Bellevue (D. C.), has met with such
success that numerous short wave
naval stations are now in operation
between the wavelengths of 20 and 80
meters. About half of these stations
are on shore and half afloat.
The radio operators on various bat
tleships have built themselves "unof
ficial" short wave receivers for the
purpose of hearing NKF. These re
I ? eiver8 "" bata ,in ^_ tube ' and ."
ii reported that NKF comes in
stronger than ■ the powerful 17,000
meter naval station at Annapolis.
NKF uses a power of about BKW,
and has carried on two-way communi
cation with Sydney, Autaralia.
Tran*-At Untie Power Record
An unusually low power was used
by an English station (6S1) when he
communicated with U. S. 1PL.
The transmission started with high
er power at 6 SI, but at the request of
1PL it was gradually cut down to an
input power of only 2.2 watts. This is
less than l-25th of the power used in
the average incadescent light bulb in
the home.
Another striking thing about this
feat, was that 6 SI was transmitting
on a make-shift aerial consisting of a
| single wire, varying from 7 to 28 feet
[ above the ground. The transmission
{ took place on a wavelength of 96
meters.
An English listener announced rec
ently, that he had discovered

skeptics have pointed out however,
(hat a neighboring station was trans
mitting a Gaelic concert at the time,
it j a supposed, from the foregoing |
report, that a Gaelic concert must
sound something like the familiar
noise made by three or more American
stations holding a "free-for-all" on the
same wavelength.

'you solve your radio problems. Write

A. H, R. says: "I have made an elec
